Our philosophy:

For many years now, the international railway market has enjoyed dynamic development, which also includes track systems. As part of the overall railway system, track technology must satisfy many requirements: faster and heavier trains, greater operational availability, and more favourable maintenance procedures. This development is also accompanied by greater specialization and complexity of the products, and by stricter requirements placed on planning and engineered construction – especially with respect to track characteristics and their interfaces to the overall railway system. Our goal: to meet the challenging requirements placed on all track components, and to implement optimal techno-economic solutions.
